Albert might garner a 3rd, but he also could go down to injury and garner a 6th.

McCluster is nothing special and won't garner more than a 5th, while Jackson and Schwartz are 6th, 7th rounders, at best.

Big ****ing deal.

I'll take the 2 free agents.

Teams get rewarded more handsomely if they lose more than they add. We will get that. It is not a panacea, but it gives us a few additional picks where the other does not. All 4 of those guys will start. All earn big money.

A good GM can do big things with those picks.

Franchise tag? So next year, you want to be sinking 30 million dollars on Smith, Houston, and berry? You want to negotiate their contracts after the massive NFL cap increase vs now? If we play our cards right, we could have a shit load of money to spend next year. A lot more than we had this year by a mile.

Meet The Chiefs New Right Guard

It may be with a bit of tongue-in-cheek that I say this but, it looks like the Chiefs have every intention of starting Rishaw Johnson at the Right-Guard position in 2014. And, I have to say, I’m not at all surprised.

Now, basing your whole decision on one game, the last San Diego game, would be foolish at best. However, Andy Reid and his staff have had the opportunity to observe Rishaw Johnson on the practice field since the beginning of last season (and before) and I have a good idea that they’ve been playing their hand out this past season, with a card up their sleeves. That card would be Rishaw Johnson… and his performance in the San Diego game only confirmed what they already knew: Rishaw Johnson is a stud.

A good GM *might* might get 1 above average player out of those 4 picks. A great GM might get 2.

I would gladly take a quality player and depth, and wait one year to get a free agent than add a free agent now and forego the depth. Are we so impatient about this window that we are afraid to wait even one year at the expense of several picks?

My franchise tag comment had zero to do with our team and everything to do with the fact that Houston WILL be franchise tagging Watt and Seattle WILL be franchise tagging Thomas.

I'm not sold on Dorsey in the draft either. But it's not even about picks. It's also about whether you want marginal free agents now or wait one year to have the space and flexibility to go after true game changers.

It's marginal free agents now or wait one year and sign more marginal free agents.

No way jj Watt will want to stay in romeos system. And hard to believe a player of thomas' calibre wouldn't test the market, especially with the Seahawks having so many big decisions to make soon including Russell Wilson and Sherman. And those are just two of many free agents to hit the 2015 market.
